GMP reductase 1 (GMPR)

The protein contains 345 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 37419 Da.

 

Catalyzes the irreversible NADPH-dependent deamination of GMP to IMP. It functions in the conversion of nucleobase, nucleoside and nucleotide derivatives of G to A nucleotides, and in maintaining the intracellular balance of A and G nucleotides. (updated: Feb. 4, 2015)

Gmp reductase

DESCRIPTION

Guanosine monophosphate reductase (EC 1.7.1.7) catalyzes the irreversible NADPH-dependent reductive deamination of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP). GMPR is able to convert guanosine nucleotides to the pivotal precursor of both guanine (G) and adenine (A) nucleotides. It plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular balance of A and G nucleotides.

CLONING

Beutler et al. (1990) and Mason et al. (1990) presented evidence that a gene mapped to chromosome 6 by Kanno et al. (1989) was GMP reductase. Henikoff and Smith (1989) had pointed out similarities between the sequence described by Kanno et al. (1989) for the chromosome 6-encoded gene and the sequence of E. coli GMP reductase. Kondoh et al. (1991) found that the GMPR gene encodes a deduced 345-amino acid protein. By Northern blot analysis, Deng et al. (2002) detected relatively high levels of both GMPR1 and GMPR2 (610781) in heart, skeletal muscle, and kidney, and relatively low levels of both in colon, thymus, and peripheral blood leukocyte. Strong signals of GMPR2 were detected in brain, liver, and placenta, whereas weak signals of GMPR1 were observed in these tissues.

GENE STRUCTURE

Kondoh et al. (1991) determined that the GMPR gene spans about 50 kb and contains 9 exons. The gene contains 2 potential Sp1 binding sites within exon 1, and a functional, atypical polyadenylation signal in exon 9.

MAPPING

By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Murano et al. (1994) mapped the GMPR gene to 6p23.

HISTORY

Kanno et al. (1989) suggested that red cell G6PD (305900) is a fusion protein consisting of an NH2-terminus encoded by chromosome 6 and a COOH-portion coded by an X chromosome. This was subsequently disproved by Beutler et al. (1990) and by Mason et al. (1990). ... More on the omim web site
